Warren Buffett and his successors

Buffett, 86, hasn’t been shy about acknowledging his own mortality and that at some point others will be running his money-making machine of a company. And while Buffett hasn’t named a successor as of yet, he has tabbed a pair of money managers, Todd Combs (in 2010) and Ted Weschler (in 2011), to begin to take over the key investment operations of Berkshire.
